Additionally, Grosse Pointe Schools will provide elementary childcare from 8 a.m. - 6 p.m. Tuesday at Monteith and Trombly Elementary for $35 per child for the day. Children do not have to be registered with the district's Kids Club program to utilize this option, but parents will need to provide emergency contact information at drop off and a lunch for their child. For questions about childcare, call (313) 399-1985.
